Love and Lists is the first book in the Chocolate Lovers spinoff Chocoholics:

The foulmouthed offspring tell their stories.

Twenty-five year old Gavin Ellis has always had the love and support of his family ever since he was a little boy and couldn't stop talking about his penis. He's also always had their unsolicited advice and uncanny knack of embarrassing him at all costs. Now that he's an adult and trying to convince the love of his life to love him back, things haven't changed very much from when he was younger.

When Gavin's best friend Tyler suggests he make a todo

list of items that will ensure he wins the girl, Gavin

is one hundred percent on board: after a few six packs.

After puking in the shrubs, a bad experience with Viagra, a SexEd course gone wrong, and a slew of other mishaps courtesy of his family and friends, Gavin is pretty sure this list will be the death of him.

Sometimes, trying to make someone love you with a list isn't always the best idea. Especially when "Show her your penis" is the first "todo" item...

Tara Sivec is a wife, mom, chauffeur, cheerleading coach, soccer coach, babysitter, short order cook, genius and albino squirrel hunter. She lives in Ohio with her husband and two kids. In her spare time she likes read, write and cover things in chocolate. Most of her material comes from real life experiences with family and friends. Lucky for them, the names have been changed to protect the innocent (aka, drunk).

Tara also writes under the pen name T.E. Sivec where she can be serious, suspenseful and not at all funny.

G’s Review:

Just when you thought
that Tara couldn’t get any funnier or do better than the Chocolate Lovers
Series, she proves everyone wrong! I
think I laughed more in Gavin and Charlotte’s book than I did in any of the
previous books! Gavin’s antics just to
get Charlotte’s attention is such a comedy!
Come on let’s face it, when he goes to Drew of all people for advise,
you know it’s going to be off the wall!!
And let me tell you, Drew has been cloned!! I swear he has! I didn’t
think that anyone could have been anything like Drew, but then you meet Tyler
and you just know. I loved seeing all
the characters from the original series, I mean, it’s their children so of
course they would be there. If you think
age has matured them, you better think again!
They are worse than they were when we first met them…seriously!! They
are giving their children advise! Gavin now runs Seduction and Snacks adult toy
business…he has to deal with sex toys all day and night…one of which is named
after his mother, Claire…and then there’s the Liz, named after Charlotte’s mom….

I highly recommend you
read this! You will NOT be disappointed! Bravo Tara Sivec!! Again, you ‘ve made
us laugh until we pissed ourselves!! Seriously!
Tears streaming down my face from laughing so damn hard!!
